IMPROVEMENT IN BALANOED HEAVE-UP FOR ROLLING IRON.

TO ALL WHOM I'l` MAY CONGERN:

Be it known that I, JoSrAH CoPLEY, Jr., of the city of Allegheny, in the county of Allegheny, and State oi' Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Balance IIeave-Up for Rolls, used for rolling iron; Irnd I do hereby declare the following to be afull and exact description thereof, reference being had to the aeeoinp'anyinghdrawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists in an improved balance heave-up," constructed, arranged, and operating substantially ns hereinafter described.

'To enable others skilled in theart to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construe-l tion und operation. Y In the accompanying drawings, which form part of my specification- Figure l is n side elevation of my improved balance heave-upf7 representing it lowered; also representing a longitudinal section through the masonry surrounding seid balanpe heave-up.

Figure 2 is a. side elevation of the same, representing the heave-up as raised.

Figure 3 is a. top view of the same.

Figure 4 is a top view of the seme, with the platforms and rolls removed.

In the drawings, A represents the masonry surrounding the balanced heave-up, and B the pit for the same; C and C the platforms on which the iron to be rolled 'is placed. These platforms may consist of frames and rollers, or any other device which may facilitate moving the iron. The platforms C und C are supported by the frames D, which are pivoted to the leversfund arms e, said levers and arms being pivoted to the hausing J of the rolls a; and rv. To the inner ends of the leversf is suspended the counterpoise. z, by means of the links r1. The pin n in the frame D, when said frame is depressed, is caught bythe latch mf, as represented in fig. l.

The operation of my improvement is as follows: The heave-up" being in the-position represented in fig. 1, the iron is placed on one of the platforms, und passed between the rolls. The latch m is then unshipped, and the counterpoise having been sufficiently weighted, will heave up the platforms, thus raising the iron up so that it may be passed over thel roll m on to the other platform. .The platforms are then lowered to their original position, by the operator pressingdown on any part of either, since the descent of either platform rziises the counterpoise so that the other platform descends by its own weighb. When the heave-up is lowered, it is caught and held by the latch m. By making the outer arms of the levers of unequal' lengths, the countern poise will heave up the iron while on one platform, ns before; but when it is on the other the iron Will'prepondei-ate, and descend, thus making l)the heave-up," in this respect, self-acting.

Having thus .described the nature, construction, and operation of my improvement, what I claim as of my invention, is

1. Combined with rolls for roll-ing iron, en improved balanced heave-up, constructed and counterpoised substantially usher-ein described and for the purpose set forth.

2e The combination lof the plat-forms C and C', frames D, levers f, arms e, and eounterpoise z, with rolls for rolling iron, substantially as herein described and For the purpose set forth.
